Pet Sitting in Arlington

“I am a helicopter dog mom who just moved to Richmond and can no longer let my dogs out on my lunch break. Rachel has been the best dog sitter I could ask for. I love my updates on the boys each day and trust that they are in the best care each day while I am away.”

“Mindy did a fantastic job while we were away on vacation. she took excellent care of our cat, Sophie, and took some extra time to feed our fish and turtle. she even offered to retrieve our mail and take our garbage to the curb! we'll definitely look for her again next time we need to leave town.”

Scott R.

“I recently took a trip overseas and had to leave my cat home for a week. This is the first time I've been away from her for more than one or two days, so I was very nervous. I can say with utmost confidence that I wouldn't have enjoyed my vacation as much as I did without Tessa's help. Nymeria's not been around many people other than myself, so I knew it'd be difficult for her to adjust to someone else, but Tessa was incredibly patient and understanding with her. She never tried to push Nymeria's boundaries and always made sure each visit was as stress free as possible. Even though the area where I live was going through nasty weather, Tessa made sure I got to see some photos and videos of my cat each day during her visit. Knowing that Tessa was making sure Nymeria was well fed, had plenty of water, and a clean litter box lifted such a weight off my shoulders. Not to mention Tessa also works at a veterinarian clinic! I couldn't have asked for anyone better to watch over my fussy cat when I couldn't be there. Honestly I can't thank Tessa enough!”

“Angela was great! We had a conversation with a pic every time! Second time using this service and both times were fantastic! Recommend Angela again too!”

“Candace does a terrific job with our boys! We have a puppy who is exceptionally strong, a middle child whose more laid back and an older guy who requires extra attention—I can always trust that she provides the care needed plus a little extra love!”

Cindy H.

“I recently moved from NY to KY and was in need of someone to help care for my four dogs. I had spoken to many people and wasn’t comfortable with anyone as I had my prior dog walker in Ny for over 10 years. I found Tanika and she and I hit it off right away: she was super accommodating to my ever changing schedule. I was nervous to have my one rescue dog meet anyone because he could be unpredictable. Tanika came armed with treats and was relaxed and so easy going with all the dogs that he took to her first!!!! Tanika had been above and beyond amazing . She helps with my dogs that have medical issues and she is always there when and if I need her. She takes care of my dogs as if they were her own and I’ve never had to worry about them when I’m away. She is an absolute god send and I highly recommend her!”

“Amazing and so kind”

“I could tell how much Isabella loves animals and was completely confident that she would take the very best care of my baby girl. Willow was in good hands and I will definitely book Isabella again.”

Patti W.

“Excellent communication! Sarah came and did a few drop-in visits while I was out of town. She gave me great updates everyday. Will definitely book with her again!”

Malory D.

“We had a meet & greet with Cindy previously and really appreciated the way she interacted with Willow. Last night we had her do 2 drop ins and she sent pictures both times. It was so easy to set up as Cindy was very quick to respond. Our evening away was worry free thanks to Cindy. We will definitely use her services again!”

Patti W.

“Sarah is the best! I hope she's available next time I go out of town!”

About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience as a veterinary and kennel technician, I bring a deep understanding of animal care, behavior, and health to every pet I look after. Animals have always been a huge part of my life – I’ve been involved in animal rescue for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets isn’t just a job to me, it’s a lifelong passion. Whether it’s walking an energetic pup, caring for a senior pet with special needs, or just giving your furry friend some extra love while you’re away, I provide compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care every step of the way. You can trust that your pet will be treated like family in my care. I have experience with exotics and farm animals! I also have my wildlife rehabilitation license. Let’s connect – I’d love to meet you and your pets! I have four pets myself. A Chow, a Doberman, and two cats. My “hobbies” and “activities” include animals. I do animal rescue every day of my life, happily. I exercise, hike, or walk the track of Lake Reba every day with my fur babies and would love to take yours! My pets are on a routine. They go outside to the restroom around every 1-4 hours, other than when I am at work. I feed my pets once in the morning and then before bed.. I’m strict and stay on schedule, never late!

About: Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat yours. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with both playful puppies and seasoned seniors. As a full-time sitter, your dog will get my full attention with frequent walks, fun adventures, and plenty of love and playtime in my yard. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and right at home—because when they’re with me, they’re part of the family. As someone who stays home full-time and only works a few days a week, pet care naturally fits into my daily life. I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to give each pet personalized attention—whether that means morning walks, medication schedules, playtime in the yard, or just cozy companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone or on a tight schedule—they’ll be part of a calm, loving home where their needs come first. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your pet’s familiar environment to reduce stress. I stick to their usual schedule, including meals, medications, and playtime, while providing companionship and supervision. Whether at your home or mine, your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priorities.

About: Special experience: -bottle feeding babies -medication administration -senior and palliative care -basic dog training (not certified) -caring for injuries and wounds -soothing anxious dogs I don’t just want a side gig watching your animals. I want to connect with and actively have fun with each baby I get to meet. I have had at least 1 pet every moment of my life. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats and all together live with 3 of each in my current home. Everyone deserves to know their fur babies are safe and happy. I provide consistent updates and pictures as often as you like. Feel free to ask about any special requests, I am quite flexible and am even open to bartering services. We will work together to find something that makes everyone happy! With 6 pets currently under my roof I am already constantly taking care of them in some way. It’s easy for me to add yours without any hiccups. Each pet has their own personality and I find it important to listen to what they are trying to tell me. I can cuddle all day or give lots of space and I have pets that like both so it is easy for me to adjust to varying needs.

“Haley is amazing. We seriously lucked out choosing her to watch Kitty while we were out of town for a week. She had to make two visits a day for wet food and she still took the time to hang out with our cat for a little while each time. 100% will be using Haley for pet check-ins again.”

“Elena is AMAZING!!! She is so sweet, kind, caring, patient and very accommodating. Our dog, Sydney is very shy and nervous around people, but she quickly warmed up to her. Elena took great care of Sydney. She gave detailed feedback, updates and pictures of Sydney during each visit. I will definitely rebook with Elena again. I highly recommend and trust her! Elena is the BEST!!!”

Charlene B.

“Finnley was fantastic - she did a great job checking in on them and was very responsive to questions or messages. We always received a thorough report, and it was a great peace of mind to know they were check on. Would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!”

Ashley W.

“Shannon was great! She pays attention to the details, great at updating me with photos, and created a safe and calm environment for my pup!”

About: I have watched numerous dogs and cats through my life and have enjoyed it every time. I have also helped train multiple dogs! I would love to take care of your animals and I will treat them just like I treat mine! I am a full time college student who only has classes 2 days a week! The longest I would have to be gone would be on Thursdays and Tuesdays for an hour and fifteen minutes twice on those days. I will take care of your animals just like I would my own. Any special requests you have I can adhere to. Every animal is differnet and I understand and respect that. This means I would adapt to whatever your animal may need!

“Fantastic!”
